Show Notes

Tina Hizon, commonly known as Tina Keys is a true icon within the music industry, working as a MD and Session Musician to some crazy cool artists. Her bio is incredibly impressive, with the likes of Ed Sheeran, Roger Taylor, Clean Bandit, Maisie Peters and Dua Lipa as just some of the talent she has played alongside. In this episode, we discuss Tina's backup plan of accounting in case music didn't work out, as well as the ups and downs of being a self-employed musician. If you're wanting to start session playing, and don't know where to start, or if like me, you're fascinated by the people who work behind the scenes in music, you're going to love this episode. I truly think this is one of my favourite ever episodes!

If you were to remove your tag on Instagram, would anyone know that you took the photograph? That's what we're talking about today, how to find YOUR creative style, not just one you copied from someone else on social media.

When people think of music photography, they picture summer festivals and constantly being on tour. But the reality of turning this into a full-time career? It often means taking on some unsexy jobs behind the scenes that help to pay the bills...
